Add test showing how libnm/libnm-glib handles invalid connections,
i.e. connections that fail nm_connection_verify(). libnm implements
settings a static types (via different NMSetting types). This makes
it unavoidable that eventually a newer server version will
expose connections that fail verification in the client.
For example, master added a new base type NMSettingTun. This setting type
was not backported to legacy libnm-glib, thus such connection will not verify.
Also, we want that newer server versions are backward compatible with older
library versions. Thus also a pre-NMSettingTun libnm version has the same
problem.
The test shows that libnm is agnostic to whether the connection verifies.
That is consistent behavior, but possibly problematic because most
accessors to connections assert against a valid connection. Thus using
the common nm_connection*() functions on an invalid connection can lead
to problems.
Also, due to the static nature of our NMSetting types, some properties
can be silently dropped and thus mangling the connection without the
library user noticing.
libnm-glib prints a g_warning() whenever parsing an invalid connection.
When an invalid connection is added initially, it is exposed to the library
user. When a connection gets later invalidated due to an update, the
connection disappears and it stays missing even if a subsequent update
makes the connection valid again.
libnm-glib's behavior indicates that we might wanted to hide invalid
connections from the user. But it's very broken there.
Up to now, the "include" directory contained (only) header files that were
used project-wide by libs, core, clients, et al.
Since the directory now also contains a non-header file, the "include"
name is misleading. Instead of adding yet another directory that is
project-wide, with non-header-only content, rename the "include"
directory to "shared".
The unit tests for libnm and libnm-glib use a NetworkManager stub
service written in Python (test-networkmanager-service.py). As they
share the same server, it makes sense to also share the same utility
code to drive the stub.
Move the common code to include/.
Note that contrary to "nm-test-utils.h", "nm-test-libnm-utils.h" is not
a header-only file. Instead its implementation is in "nm-test-utils-impl.c".
The reason for that this split is, if we later have yet another non-header-only
test-utility, then all the implementations are in "nm-test-utils-impl.c", requiring
the tests to link only one object file.
After commit 8ca6e412c1, libnm-glib is
able to instantiate unknown devices as dummy objects without creating
a D-Bus proxy for them. Enable this behavior for every new unknown
device type.
This is a straightforward copy of the changes done in libnm. It is done to cope
with test failures due to redundant or misordered signals. See
commit 52ae28f6e5 for a detailed explanation.
Since libnm is the preferred way to interact with NM now, we don't
want to add new device types to libnm-glib.
Make libnm-glib recognize TUN devices as generic ones and modify
NMDeviceGeneric to use the correct D-Bus interface based on the actual
device type.
Refactor nm-device.c to expose a private _nm_device_type_for_path()
function which can be used by subclasses to query the actual device
type. In particular, NMDeviceGeneric will use the result of this
function to figure out which interface to use for the D-Bus proxy.
We now (since 3272ff6 libnm/libnm-glib: don't quit in the middle of asking for
secrets) always hook on the quit timer when NM asks the plugin if it needs
secrets. The timer is 20 seconds, which seems too short.
Let's make it three minutes. Don't bother adding another timer or using a
distinct timeout: it does no harm for the plugin to remain unused for three
minutes on a bus.
Another option would be to completely unhook it; however the plugin wouldn't
learn if the user cancelled the NM's secrets request and would remain unused
on the bus forever.
For libnm library, "nm-dbus-interface.h" contains defines like the D-Bus
paths of NetworkManager. It is desirable to have this header usable without
having a dependency on "glib.h", for example for a QT application. For that,
commit c0852964a8 removed that dependancy.
For libnm-glib library, the analog to "nm-dbus-interface.h" is
"NetworkManager.h", and the same applies there. Commit
159e827a72 removed that include.
However, that broke build on PackageKit [1] which expected to get the
version macros by including "NetworkManager.h". So at least for libnm-glib,
we need to preserve old behavior so that a user including
"NetworkManager.h" gets the version macros, but not "glib.h".
Extract the version macros to a new header file "nm-version-macros.h".
This header doesn't include "glib.h" and can be included from
"NetworkManager.h". This gives as previous behavior and a glib-free
include.
For libnm we still don't include "nm-version-macros.h" to "nm-dbus-interface.h".
Very few users will actually need the version macros, but not using
libnm.
Users that use libnm, should just include (libnm's) "NetworkManager.h" to
get all headers.
As a special case, a user who doesn't want to use glib/libnm, but still
needs both "nm-dbus-interface.h" and "nm-version-macros.h", can include
them both separately.

Fixes: 4545a7fe96
The localization headers are now included via "nm-default.h".
Also fixes several places, where we wrongly included <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
instead of <glib/gi18n.h>. For example under "clients/" directory.
Add a bunch of compat defines to nm-vpn-plugin-ui-interface.h, to make
it easier to compile the same code against libnm-glib's
NMVpnPluginUiInterface and libnm's NMVpnEditorPlugin.

Rather than randomly including one or more of <glib.h>,
<glib-object.h>, and <gio/gio.h> everywhere (and forgetting to include
"nm-glib-compat.h" most of the time), rename nm-glib-compat.h to
nm-glib.h, include <gio/gio.h> from there, and then change all .c
files in NM to include "nm-glib.h" rather than including the glib
headers directly.
(Public headers files still have to include the real glib headers,
since nm-glib.h isn't installed...)
Also, remove glib includes from header files that are already
including a base object header file (which must itself already include
the glib headers).
Add a file containing the defines like DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS from
dbus-shared.h, and use it from the gdbus-using files.
Also, convert a bunch of other places that were previously hardcoding
the string values to use the defines instead, and fix the ifcfg-rh
plugin to properly namespace its own D-Bus-related defines.
If the VPN plugin terminated and the user started it again, then the
quit timer will still be running and it sometimes happens that the
VPN plugin will quit while the UI is asking the user for secrets.
That's not very nice, so don't do that.
Reproducer: while connect to the VPN, suspend your laptop. Then
resume it, and immediately re-start the VPN connection. Watch the
secrets dialog disappear within a very short time.

Even Fedora is no longer shipping the WiMAX SDK, so it's likely we'll
eventually accidentally break some of the code in src/devices/wimax/
(if we haven't already). Discussion on the list showed a consensus for
dropping support for WiMAX.
So, remove the SDK checks from configure.ac, remove the WiMAX device
plugin and associated manager support, and deprecate all the APIs.
For compatibility reasons, it is still possible to create and save
WiMAX connections, to toggle the software WiMAX rfkill state, and to
change the "WIMAX" log level, although none of these have any effect,
since no NMDeviceWimax will ever be created.
nmcli was only compiling in support for most WiMAX operations when NM
as a whole was built with WiMAX support, so that code has been removed
now as well. (It is still possible to use nmcli to create and edit
WiMAX connections, but those connections will never be activatable.)
